Reshaping the bone so that weight passes through the healthier side of the knee.
Knee Malalignment Treatment
If the leg is bowed or knock-kneed, more weight passes through one side of the knee than the other, and that side wears first. An osteotomy makes a controlled cut in the shin bone or the thigh bone and changes the angle slightly, so that the load moves across to the side that is still in good condition. The knee is not replaced and nothing artificial goes into the joint. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, performs Knee Alignment Surgery for wear on one side of the knee.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
How long is the recovery?
Recovery to full activity is three to six months, with crutches and limited weight through the leg for the first six weeks or so while the bone heals.
Will the plate stay in?
Usually, yes. It is sometimes removed later if it is prominent enough to be uncomfortable, which is a small second procedure.
Is this done arthroscopically?
No. The bone is cut and fixed through an incision. Arthroscopy is sometimes done at the same time to deal with what is inside the joint.
Do you take insurance?
Medicare and most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.To check your plan, call (561) 465-8884, or Book an Appointment.
